Can we appreciate how awesome it is to see a grown man throw a tantrum over a jersey number? The closest one I can think of this is when Shaq have a meltdown because Dwight Howard wearing and calling himself SUUPERMAAANNN 😂😂😂
@travisj5112 but if melo was not ahole towards entire nuggets organisation and denver as a city, if he was in the nba finals last season rocking jokic jersey, if he show any connection with denver and fans, if he worked to repair his relationship with the fans and then with the organisation, nuggets would retire both carmelo and jokic jersey, but he is ny knick not nugget so nobody in denver lose sleep because he is throwing tantrum and bs on some stupid podcasts
And also completely not knowing the history of what he's talking about. If Jokic came in with the hype Wemby had and the team encouraged him to wear 15 then ok, but we're talking a guy drafted in the second round who could have been nothing but another middle of the pack big man, nobody knew he would be a three time MVP and champ
Even Melo fans like myself are 100% okay with Joker wearing #15. He already brought a championship to Denver and Jokic will have #15 retired and possibly a statue outside of Denver, that's how good this guy has been. Jokic is insanely good. I don't watch as much basketball as I used to but I will watch Jokic play anytime I can.
I'm not sure why this is hard to understand. The fact that you're OK with it is irrelevant. Carmelo Anthony is a first ballot hall of fame player who gave his best years to Denver getting that franchise into the playoffs many times where he averaged 24 points a game. The franchise didn't think twice about giving his old jersey to another player, and they most definitely should have. It was disrespectful. Especially in a league where Shaq gets his Orlando Magic jersey retired.
@@incipidsigninsetup who cares if he got them to the playoffs? Who fuckin* cares? Literally NOBODY. Your anger and opinion won't change a damn thing. Yea and Shaq actually got that Magic team to the finals, something Melo could never do. Iverson got the sixers to the finals. Hell even Reggie Miller got his Pacers to the finals. None of them won the finals but they GOT there. That stuff matters. I have zero issues with what Denver did..none at all..and like I said I'm a Melo fan. But guess what? It's over and done with. Jokic WILL have his #15 Retired by Denver and that will be the right choice. Honestly quit whining about it. You and Melo both sound petty and SOFT.
Melo, you forced your way out of Denver. Do you really think you deserve to have your number retired after putting up no hardware in your 7 years in the city?
Y’all must never seen melo career in Denver yeah he couldn’t get a ship but he never had the cast Joker has around him and melo top 9 all time scoring put some respect on his number

As much of a legend Melo is, Jokic deserves that #15 more. He did the ultimate thing a player can do for his franchise. i.e winning a championship. Melo can be salty all he wants but Jokic is the better player and one of the best in nba history easily.
He’s not an all time great yet a great for sure but not all timer yet he still have years he have to put under the rug gotta stay healthy etc a legend for sure not all time great yet because he don’t have the years yet he on his way though
Melo should study history first before opening his mouth cause none of the talk will ever happen if Jokic stays average. No one knows that the 41st pick drafted during a taco bell commercial would be the greatest Nuggets player and in the discussion of top 5 Centers to ever play the game if he won another MVP and NBA Title.
This melo dude is full of insecurities, first with Linsanity in NY now with the Joker who is much better player than he was.. people will remember you as champions lebron and dwade's good friend..🤣🤣
Damn I can kind of understand why the people of Denver don’t like Melo.. he left them high and dry and now the nuggets are flourishing.. Karma is real!
People will usually respond with the same energy you give to them. I'm a big Melo fan, but not once since leaving have I heard him give any gratitude for his time here, so of course the organization wasn't going to treat him like a legend right away after he bailed on the team and never even gave thanks to everyone who supported him from day 1. Also, don't forget that he chose to announce his retirement as soon as the Nuggets clinched their Finals spot.
He bailed on the team because of a coach who no one on the team respected or liked and the franchise wouldn’t do anything about it they picked a coach over they star player initially that killed melo career alone in Denver yall gotta tell the whole story yall talking about one of the most skilled players to play this game fundamentals etc top 9 all time scoring and also was one of the only 5 level scorers the league has seen smh a ring don’t make you who you are
@@milestonecomics8049 The point is that he's never said anything good. K-Mart, Chauncey, J.R, Nene, Birdman, Camby Iverson, Andre Miller and pretty much every other Nugget has shown appreciation about their time with the team even if they weren't drafted here and might have even experienced more success elsewhere.
@@detroitbanks9140 George Karl and Carmelo might have not liked each other's personalities(Melo being a diva and Karl being a backwards thinking racist a-hole), but they knew and appreciated what the other brought professionally in terms of basketball which is why Melo had tolerated their relationship for so long. That wasn't their reason for leaving and Melo even convinced Igoudala into playing for Karl. The reason Melo left wasn't winning driven because there were plenty of way more competitive teams than the Knicks. The real reason is just because him and his wife wanted to go where they could live a celebrity lifestyle. Carmelo is one of the best all around scorers, basically what Durant would be without the mickey mouse rings. The West was full juggernauts and fans that actually watched during that time don't blame him for not being able to overcome those monsters, but it wasn't the team's fault either because they built good teams around and were able to get tons of wins. Melo for some reason still wants to blame the team, even though he only had 1 playoff appearance during his time in NY despite being an easier conference, so he should've realized that what they accomplished in Denver wasn't easy.
There's no debate...jokic won MVPs and championship against the same opponents melo ever had.Jokic is the best Nuggets ever,and would have his #15 jersey retired,not Melo.this is just envy and jalousy,and It's a shame for that caliber of player he was,period.
After Melo left for the Knicks in 2011-2012. The great George Karl took Denver (without Melo) to 57 wins in 2012-2013. When Melo was a Nugget, the team could not even win 55 games.
I’m a melo fan…but these podcasts lately are starting to make these former athletes look petty and jealous at times. This time melo looking petty and jealous!
Carmelo is just jealous because the Joker did what he couldn't do in Denver. Im a Carmelo fan but sometimes these NBA players need to really think before they open their mouth on certain topics. It makes them seem petty. Enjoy your money and retirement without the extra BS!
Melo didn't do shit on the Nuggets and left them for NYC. I dunno why he is crying about #15 now. Also Joker was a 2nd round pick nobody knew he would be this good.
as a Team player/Basketball player Melo can not hold a candle to Jokic. Too funny. GOAT melo is not even a question mark. He should have supported Lin in NY but his EGO got in his WAY....
Some players start out in the league a little immature, but eventually grow up. Melo is still the same selfish, self-centered, loser. It was always obvious he was never going to be a champion. You just can't win the selfish players like that.
Melo honestly, serbia15, have already, erased your accomplishment. Period. Respect goes to you. But don't even think for a second that whatever you have helped Denver nuggets during your time, have been overshadowed tremendously by serbia15 with the 1st ever ring Joker contributed to be won in the nba. Joker have used #15 even before he got drafted as the 41st pick. Even as you are implying that nuggets organization have Joker wear jersey #15 out of spite, that's the organization's right to do so as they please. Melo have no say in that. Stop whining like a snowflake, Melo. Mabuhay!
If Melo played defense on any team he played on he would have a championship. Very few players in any sport have their number guarded for no one else to use.
I'm from Colorado and a Nuggets Fan, I never thought Melo was that Great. But this shows how shallow he his for thinking he really left a mark in Colorado like Jokic. And think 15 looks better on Jokic
Whether you think Melo is in the 'wrong or right' here, the fact is that the Denver Nuggets can NEVER retire that number for Carmelo, and WILL retire it for Jokic. That's a burn. I'm glad he acknowledged that it's not Jokic's fault.
Also Giannis took Ray Allen number 34 on the Bucks, you don’t see Ray say anything about that. Also Allen won a ring on the Celtics and Heat and before that he was 1 game away from making the nba finals in 2001 against the Sixers.
Sure Nuggets knew Jokic was going to be the greatest Nugget ever and gave him #15...... please, they drafted him in the 2nd round and gave him #15. Just like the rest of the NBA they didn't know he was going to be as great as he is, now that he has achieve the greatest Nugget player ever, and is pushing for top 15 player of all time, maybe the question Melo should be saying is, "God why do you hate me so much, you gave a 2nd round draft pick (Jokic) more talent than a Lottery pick (Melo)? Was it because I was too selfish god?"
We can retire the number 0. For how many finals appearances, finals rings, finals mvps, regular season mvps, regular season scoring leader, defensive player of the year. The number ZERO would fit him well
I'm not a Nuggets fan and I've never really been to Denver (just the airport for layovers), but my guess is Nikola Jokic is way more important to the Denver Nuggets organization than Carmelo Anthony
If Melo never asked for a trade he would've retired there. Even if he didn't win a championship his number would've been retired. Look at Westbrook in OKC, he didn't finish his career there but you best believe the number 0 is off limits forever.
Didn't this guy hate on Jeremy Lin. Also, the information this reporter gave us was awesome. All Melo did was score a lot of points during his NBA career.
He's mad because he will never get his number retired 15 and he wore number 7 in New York but they definitely won't retire that as well. Carmelo made a lot of money made a lot of points but never won a championship.
so, according to Melo, Nuggets gave #15 to Jokic to erase what he did in Denver, but when the Nuggets gave it to Anthony Randolph after Melo left, he did not say a thing? 11 players have worn #15 for Denver, including Avery Johnson, Danny Fortson, Keon Clark, Chris Andersen, Melo, Randolph and Jokic. Melo wrong as usual.
Melo is overrated, just scores 20 and calls it a night, no defensive accolades, he doesn't deserve top 75 spot, Dwight deserves it more and got Orlando to a finals as the bus driver
Carmelo still at it. From Jeremy Lin to Jokic.
Yup and those are the victims…right!
Facts
And this time Jokic laps him accomplishments as a player and a nuggets, dude pick the wrong one trying to bully lol.😂
When I think of #15 for Denver I think of Jokic. Melo you were a great player. But Joker is one of the best players I've ever seen with my own eyes.
Melo left. I lived around that stadium for over a decade during those times. Jokic is king.
Melo was just another Luka Doncic. Unguardable scorer with bad defense and mediocre 3pt shot.

Great answer!
Boom 💥 👊 🎤
@travisj5112well, if everyone agreed with your rationale, I suppose Melo wouldn’t have to go on a podcast and whine about his diminished clout.

so, according to Melo, Nuggets gave #15 to Jokic to erase what he did in Denver, but when the Nuggets gave it to Anthony Randolph after Melo left, he did not say a thing?
11 players have worn #15 for Denver, including Avery Johnson, Danny Fortson, Keon Clark, Chris Andersen, Melo, Randolph and Jokic.
Melo wrong as usual.
Ther saying that number for great players. Feel honored u had it too.
Replacing an egoistic, suckerpunching narcisist isnt a bad idea
But then you would have to replace many numbers in professional sports
Didn't jokic sucker punch Morris
@@milestonecomics8049 i would say no
Melo is overrated, just scores 20 and calls it a night, no defensive accolades, he doesn't deserve top 75 spot, Dwight deserves it more and got Orlando to a finals as the bus driver
melo really thought joker should have paid homage to him, someone who rarely ever got out of the first round
All the way from Houston for the Melo smoke. It sounded strange when i heard it. Just wanted to see wath the locals had to say 😂
